The only one hell bent on a "crusade" (religous war) is the Taliban, not the U.S.A.

They will not hand over Bin Laden. They are stauling the U.S.A. by "asking him to leave on his own free will."

Really... asking a mass murder of thousands, if he would care to leave Afghanistan on his own free will?

I am amazed the U.S.A has had any patients to tolerate this sham of a government (the Taliban) at all.

These thugs have been harboring this mass murdered for years, isolating themselves from the entire world and have planning this jihad in advance.

Then they have the nerve to dictate the terms of which the war will unfold on us. And the terms by which they will extradict and/or prosecute him (if.. that is, God knows they will ever prosecute him)

Bin Laden and the Afghan Government are one in the same as the statement of their terms and conditions to the U.S.A. have revealed them to be.

They Say: Let Us Keep Our Terrorist! Let Him Continue To Attack U.S. Citizens! Be Patient U.S.A., give him a chance to totally destroy your nation in the next four terrorist plots yet to come (which the F.B.I is unveiling). Don't Retaliate and Demand Extradition and Justice for this, or We will Unleash a Holy War in addition to the one we have already started on 9-11-01

Wake up people. The war is on. NOW! Stop walking on diplomatic eggshells with this guy, his country, and the word Crusade.

The only one using and practicing this word in its a religious context in the Taliban and Bin Laden.

Stop ringing you hands over whether this will offend someone and draw the U.S.A. into a dangerous war. It's too late for that: we are alreay in a war, that they have started. That what all this rhotoric is about and what all their rediculous conditions are about. The war is HERE in the U.S.A. NOW! It started on 9-11-01. And God knows how long these people the Taliban will continue it.

P.S.

While I don't want anyone to live in fear, it is not wise to use the word "Crusade" domestically. You wouldn't smart off in the middle of a drive by shooting, if you saw a caravan of gunmen on a highway. So why would anyone dare to do anything different when discussing the word Crusade domestically. These people are terrorsist and fanatical nuts, who will try and do anything.

This network is growing and will continue to grow domestically.

The Holy War is Here. On our Soil. And I'd be willing to bet within a month or less it will be on their's (the talibans too)

Protect Thyself, and Negotiate Peace Only When A New Government other than the Taliban is Willing to live in peace. With everyone else that occupies this world.

One Love! One Heart! Let' Get Together and Feel Alright!

May God protect and Defend the coalition and its Mission!

God Bless America! GOd Help Us All!
